With you not even bothering to paste in the output of mythtv when it's run? 
No.

Try alsa, and/or get a better soundcard.  The btaudio module might also work, 
though that limits you to a 32kHz sampling rate.. 

Also, re: xmltv and your post on their mailing list, Debian packages (almost) 
exist.  The guy packaging it up is waiting on the 0.5.1 release, before 
installing it into the archive, as I understand it.
